2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[danikerhino]

Curry is better at 3s, steals, rebounding, midrange, free-throw, and assists statistically, Kyrie is a better finisher and dribbler.

.........you know it'll be numbered bro. Even if it's not numbered...it'll be numbered....lol.

Unless they just through them all in together like a bowl of chips.

TNT or ESPN will definitely take advantage of the content.

I did a quick search online and as I expected, the Top 50 list was given in alphabetical order by last name so I imagine the Top 75 list will be the same. Meaning that each media outlet will have their own interpretation of how it should be ordered. I can already see ESPN/First Take having daily drops (75-50, 50-30, 30-20, etc.) and debates about their ordered list

 

[firstclass]

Get ready for more if Brooklyn wins

Spoiler

If #11 gets another AllStar/All-NBA nod with a chip he knocking on that top 10 for his position

Oh dang....James will be over Jordan

But Bryant and Curry thoooooo

And another thing, people don't outright say Kyrie is better, they instead say he's more "skilled" like wtf does that mean?

All these people he's supposedly more skilled than have way more individual and even team accomplishments than him.

He's never come close to an MVP award and if Bron didn't go back to the Cavs he would've never sniffed a ring either.

He's an unabashedly 1 dimensional player whose teams do just as well or even better when he's not on the court doing that 1 dimensional thing.

Which is a ******* lot btw between injuries or just not wanting to play for whatever reason.

Better than Steph? He's not even better than Russ!

YES I'M CLOSE!

 

[WASHED KING]

I thought you were serious about Bron being #1 then after the second post, I knew you were trolling. If
ron would be 3-5 which is a very big accomplishment.



Past accomplishments have no bearing on results in the present. This is one of the oldest teams by average age in league history. It will be intriguing to to see who bounces between “old and washed” and “stacked the deck” and vice versa this season.

First post I was serious.

2nd post halfway serious halfway joking.

Kyrie has a more CREATIVE handle. That is literally it

 

[art vandelay]

Kyrie has a more CREATIVE handle. That is literally it

And that may be arguable as well. I rock with both, but I think Steph is a tier above.

 

[8pm at msg]

People just can’t give my boy Steph his proper respect

Draymond stay crossing the line and never tried Steph. Meanwhile Kyrie getting hands put on him by Dion Waiters smh.

 

[wavycrocket]

You could flip this the other way too.
Besides dribbling, finishing below the rim and maybe the midrange, what does kyrie do better than Steph?

Outside of more creative dribbling moves, none of these are statistically true.

And this is why I still tell y’all Steph is still underrated. he’s still being compared to Kyrie, dame and Cp3.

And they can’t do what he can do.

 

[nick.]

75 list will be new so some folks getting booted that we're on the back end of the 50 list

Edit:

Thread gonna be MOVING this day

I'm here for the energy

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

YES I'M CLOSE!

I'll allow it on grounds for your last sentence

Wait whut? I knew they didn’t get along but I didn’t know Dion put hands to Ky.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

In the past two days cp3 and now Kyrie have been deemed more skilled than Steph. No superstar has ever been so disrespected in the history of the game

 

[HOU$TON]

James Harden the best PG in the game today

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Went from whether or not Dame and Irving were same tier to now comparing Irving to Steph

What a time

 

[danikerhino]

James Harden the best PG in the game today

Harden is more like a shooting guard in my mind.

 

[art vandelay]

Steph has a edge on Ky, but it isn’t like Kyrie is a bum tho.

 

[art vandelay]

Went from whether or not Dame and Irving were same tier to now comparing Irving to Steph

What a time

I thought Ky and Dame are same tier.

 

[danikerhino]

Went from whether or not Dame and Irving were same tier to now comparing Irving to Steph

What a time

In that case I would take Dame by a slight margin, they're both clutch as hell.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I thought Ky and Dame are same tier.

They are but THEY don't want to acknowledge that Dame came into a vastly superior situation than Irving did pre LeBron

Funny…but this thread and a lot of people once viewed John Wall & Russell Westbrook “better” or arguably better than a prime 14-17 Steph.

Always nonsense based in nothing

 

[8pm at msg]

Wait whut? I knew they didn’t get along but I didn’t know Dion put hands to Ky.

That was the rumor, Dion was the reason Ky had that black eye and broken nose. Cavs organization said it was from a Corey Brewer elbow

 

[lawdog1]

Numbered list debates…should I weigh in?

 

[Based Jesus]

I'll allow it on grounds for your last sentence

Thank you for your understanding during these difficult times
